Title:
upgrade to Linux 4.15.0-48-generic crashes display on lenovo G500
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Last week my Lenovo G500 laptop running ubuntu 18.04 reported an
available system update of about 180 MBs, which included a kernel
version update. I installed it and following the reboot, the display
hung with a purple screen with bands of random colored pixels across
the screen.
If I reboot and hold down SHIFT to get to GRUB, it presents the
following choices under Advanced Options:
Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-48-generic
Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-48-generic (recovery mode)
Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-47-generic
Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-47-generic (recovery mode)
If I select 4.15.0-48-generic, I get the display hang problem
described above or other forms of display misbehavior (sometimes it
flashes continuously, sometimes it just hangs at a black screen, its
not consistent).
If I select 4.15.0-47-generic, it boots up just fine to a completely
usable desktop. Every time.
I've tried running boot-repair. It reported that it had repaired GRUB,
but the problem persists. So I don't think its a boot parameters
problem. I conclude that the problem has something to do with the
display driver in 4.15.0-48-generic that was not present in
4.15.0-47-generic.
